How do you say? In addition to the SIM PIN, you would like to know how to remove the PIN of your Xiaomi from the lock screen? I tell you this is a very bad idea! By removing that code you will ensure that your smartphone is at the mercy of anyone, who will thus be able to access all your data without problems and use the device freely. Furthermore, disabling the PIN will automatically disable all other screen lock methods previously set on your phone (fingerprint, facial unblock, sequence and so on).



However, if you are really willing to proceed, access the system settings by pressing the icon of thegear present on the Home screen, in the drawer or in the Android notification curtain, then tap on the item Password and security and first blue box of the voice Password, top left.

Then continue typing the PIN of your Xiaomi and then tap the button NEXT. Then press on the item Disable screen lock And that's it. Now the PIN will no longer be required.

If, at a later time, you want to re-enable the request for this code (I highly recommend it!), Just go to Settings> Password and security> Password and, from here, press on the item PIN and enter a numeric code from 4 to 16 digits.


If you no longer have to remember the PIN currently set for the lock screen, you will necessarily have to make a backup of all the data stored on the phone and format it, deleting everything and restoring the operating system to its factory state. It should be noted that the PIN will be reset but that, in order to access Android, you will still have to type the password of the Google account previously set on the device.
